Frostbite Sail, 2015.

Frostbite Sail, 2015.

The last event of this year turned out to be another success, with a good Turnout, whether it was the nice sunny day or thought's of Mike's hot soup and mince pies is debatable!.

Today Mike the Social Sec and Bob the Abel discovered that they were distant cousins, Mike's cousin's son is Bob's Son in law and you can't be more distant than that!. 

There wasn't much wind as the owner of the trimaran discovered, it usually flies across the lake.   

There were plenty more members in the clubhouse with their wives.

The Cafe in the background was doing a roaring trade, a change from cold turkey sandwiches perhaps hey! 

There were plenty of spectators,with plenty of families with young children watching the boats.

This was early on!, as the day wore on it got the usual manic scene on the car park, with cars parked here there and everywhere!.

Enjoying the sunshine and shade

Still a nice place come rain or shine!, nice sunny day and nice company what more can you ask for.

Last man standing!, well it was free soup!, but more to the point it was already cooked so saved me doing something at home, Pepe is a chip off the old block, chatting up the ladies!, sat with his Auntie Joyce.

Friend Bob the Abel said he's changed my head because I wasn't smiling in the original picture!, that's why my neck looks a bit like an ostriches!.

There were quite a few dogs in attendance today, they must enjoy the good weather as much as us!.


Back on the landing stage there was a nice little Narra boat which I think belonged to John Davis!, who was there with his fleet of small craft again, giving goes to all the children passing by which I'm sure made their day, and perhaps gave them the interest to have another go in the future and possible
future membership hey!.

What's the difference between unlawful and illegal?.
Unlawful means against the law, illegal is a sick bird!.

A man covered in nuts, hundreds and thousands and chocolate sauce has been found dead in an ice cream van.
The police think he topped himself!.

The police have reported the theft of a shipment of filing cabinets, document folders and labelling machines.
It's believed to have been the work of organised crime.

That's it for this year folks see you in the new year!.

 Happy New Year to all our readers  

Sunday sailing, Dec 2015.

Sunday sailing, Dec 2015.

This past Sunday (20th) there were the usual regulars at the pond mainly the yachtsmen,

It was a nice sunny day but deceptive with a sharp cold wind, still that's what the yachtsmen want isn't it!, the wind not the cold though!.

One Metre racing.

 

There was a couple of motorised boats there,

 

Eddie's new modern Navy boat.

and Jeff's freighter.

Well, only one more Sunday outing for the club and that's the Frostbite Sail on the (27th) the day after Boxing Day, so hope to see a few boats on the water, as in the past few years don't think we will have to break the ice this year, must be something in this global warming hey!.

If you are at the lake over the Christmas/New Year period here is the opening times for the Lake Cafe, unless your better halves are still giving you leftover turkey sandwiches!.

  

After the council stating earlier in October that they wouldn't be putting any more money into the park, they seem to have changed their minds and the quiet of the park as been scattered this past week with the sound of chainsaws as they have been thinning out the bushes and undergrowth along the paths round the lakes, and though it looks a bit bald at the moment it will settle down I'm sure!.

Well that's it for now, hope to get a few more pictures on Frostbite day, if not I'm sure Mike's hot soup and mince pies will make up for it and I can always get some pictures indoors hey!.

Poynton Model Show,2015.

Poynton Model Show,2015.

After negotiating  the new Poynton traffic system, finally arrived at the model show to find that the lads there had certainly done the club proud on our final show of the year.

Our stand was a picture to see covering all one wall and a fine array of models of every shape and size!.

Here is a selection of pictures taken on the Saturday.

The Submarine section, checking systems before going to the pool.

Other fine models.

And even a few Sailboats, Bob Dunkerleys newly refurbished  "J" class and Two Fiesta's One Classic No58 and a more modern No523.

Ken's lifeboats.

And to show we aren't bias here are a few pictures of other stands.

 Here is Colin's son Paul who like my son is into trains!.

And you thought you had trouble getting your boat to the lake!.





Don't get many ladies in modelling hey, she was stripping down her railway engine!



If you went to the show, I'm sure you had a good time, at least it was dry there, outside it was bucketing down but it didn't put off a lot of people.
It was a fine show for our club's final showing of the year and congratulations to all the entrants and workers who made our clubs stand such a success.

AGM 2015.

AGM 2015.

 Well, another AGM come and gone and I think I can say with confidence that everyone will be glad to hear that the committee is the same as last year!.

I always say "If its not broke, don't mend it".

That could be the club's motto hey!.

Today at the lake 10.12.15 there was the usual Thursday crew in attendance,

That's how you win awards really isn't it, consistent attendance and practice.

Most of the people in the picture won one award or another at the AGM! this year!.

One of Al the Comm's nice builds
